Chandrayaan-3 is India’s third unmanned Moon mission and has successfully entered the lunar orbit on Saturday after covering two-thirds of the total distance so far. ‘I am feeling lunar gravity’ was the Chandrayaan-3’s message to ISRO after it achieved the major milestone that hauled it closer to the Moon. The craft made over five moves in an attempt to lift it against the Earth’s gravity over three weeks since the launch on July 14.
